Why we need more light in winter.
The dark winter months are a challenge for many people. The days grow shorter, and natural light becomes scarce. This is exactly when we realise how crucial good lighting is for our well-being. Product Manager Thomas Schweizer speaks plainly and explains why the right lighting quality is far more than just a technical matter.
Thomas Schweizer speaks plainly
«The dark winter months often bring more than just freezing temperatures. Glossy magazines may promise beautiful snowy landscapes and spectacular seas of fog. But in reality, most people experience that sea of fog from the wrong side. The increasingly shorter days don’t help either: winter arrives, and the sun disappears for quite some time. During this period, many people feel tired, irritable, or reach for chocolate more often. The reason? A lack of light slows down the production of serotonin, our happiness hormone. Low light levels negatively affect our well-being.
The good news: it’s not only chocolate – light can help too!
Our mirrored cabinets and lighted mirrors with HCL (Human Centric Lighting) simulate natural daylight and deliver a genuine “serotonin boost”. In the morning, bright, energising light for the ideal start to the day. In the evening, a soft, relaxing glow that promotes restful sleep.
Products such as the Schneider Bordo TW or Schneider GLOW D2W, featuring TW (Tunable White) or D2W (Dim2Warm) technology, are in no way inferior to the HCL function. With 6500 Kelvin and the latest LED CRI90* technology, they place the user in the best possible light and naturally stimulate the release of happiness hormones.
The result: Schneider lighting objects become your personal energy booster – and the winter blues fades away for good.» Thomas Schweizer - Product Manger.
